The Fun They Had in School
On the page headed May 17,2517，Margie wrote in her diary，“Today Tommy found a real book！”
It was a very old book covered with dust.Margie's grandfather once said that long ago all stories were printed on paper.
“What is it about？” asked Margie.
“School”．
“School? What's there to write about school? I hate school.”
Margie hated school now more than ever.The electric teacher had been giving her drill after drill in geography and she had been doing worse and worse until her mother had finally sent for someone to fix the teacher.
The man came with a whole box of tools.He turned off the electricity，and started to repair the teacher.There was a motor that showed questions，and a hole where Margie had to put compositions and test papers.The electric teacher marked the paper quickly.
Margie asked Tommy，“Why would anyone write about school？”
“Because it's the school they had hundreds of years ago”
Margie read the book for a while，then said，“Anyway，they had a teacher？”
“Yes，but it was a man”．
“A man? How could a man be a teacher？”
“Well，he just told the kids things and gave them homework”．
“A man isn't smart enough.”
“Sure he is.My father knows as much as my teacher”．
“But I wouldn't want a stranger in my house to teach me.”Margie argued.
Tommy laughed.“The teacher didn't live in the house.They had a special building and all the kids went there”．
“And all the kids learnt the same thing？”
“Sure，if they were the same age”．
They weren't even half-finished when Margie's mother called.“Margie! School！”
Margie went into the school next to her bedroom，and the electric teacher was waiting for her then.It was the same way every day except Saturday and Sunday.
The monitor lit up，and it said，“Please put yesterday's homework in the proper hole”．Margie sighed and threw a dirty sock at the machine.She was thinking about the old days.All the kids from the whole neighborhood came to the school，laughing and shouting in the yard.They could even help one another with the homework.
And the teachers were people!
How happy they were in the old days，Margie thought.

Ⅱ.六选五
根据短文内容，从下面的选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。
A．Slow Down Your Life
B．Escape Now and Then
C．Separate Your Actions
D．Allow Yourself to Be Weak
E．Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying “No”
F．Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect
How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more.This is why we say：reduce things by half instead of doubling them，get rid of junk instead of piling it up，relax instead of stressing，slow down instead of speeding up.Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way.You will then find yourself well along on
your journey to simplification.
1．________
When you concentrate on one task，you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had.Just imagine：you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards.If you keep grabbing one and then the other，it will take forever，because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off.But if you tie one pig in a place，pick up the other，gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line，pause for a moment，run back and get the other one，and with great determination，carry the second pig to the finish line，then you can be sure of success.
2．________
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations.In the modern nuclear family，the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner.
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do，then it's not because the day has too few hours，but because you have too many activities.A simple fact that overloaded people often tends to forget.The solution is equally simple：refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life.
3．________
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work.People who c an handle stress are given more and more to cope with—until one day they break.
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with.These signals can come from various areas of life.You become ill，or your work efficiency decreases.
If you have any of these symptoms，change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress.Say quite openly.“I can't manage that.”
4．________
“If only I were slimmer，more beautiful，richer，more clever，then I would be happier.”This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill，depressed，and unhappy.Life has its flaws，defects，corners，and edges.Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous：driving a car，crossing the road.But life doesn't consist entirely of these things.In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes.
5．________
Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work.Find out which places improve your creativity.For me it's the train.When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door，I find my mind is
free and I can read or write complex articles.There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired(some people fall asleep after a few miles)．
答案：
1．C如果同时抓着两只猪向前走，可能非常困难，但是如果先把一只猪拴在一个地方，然后抓着另一只跑到终点，然后再抓另一只，可能就简单了，故选C项，即“把你的活动分开做”。
2．E根据关键词pressure和最后一句“在个人生活和工作中拒绝接受太多的任务”可知答案。
3．D根据这一部分的最后一段“如果你有这些症状中的任何一种的话，你要改变生活目标，减少对压力的忍耐力。对自己说我做不了那么多”可知答案。
4．F生活中是有瑕疵的，只有那些接受现实的人才会过充实的生活，故答案为F。
5．B根据第一句话“成功的人为了工作都有他们自己的能够撤退的地方”以及后面举的例子“我去旅行，没有电话打扰，没人敲我的门”可知答案。
Ⅲ.任务型读写
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入一个恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.
Here is a 2-way student exchange in action. Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.
Family life, too, was different. The father's word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.“Back home，you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike，a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools”. he says, “It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

【推荐】2020年北师版高中英语必修三（全册） 精品教学案汇总 Killer whales have the second-heaviest brains among marine mammals (after Sperm whales, which have the largest brain of any animal). They can be trained in captivity (囚禁；关 押) and are often described as intelligent, although defining and measuring “intelligence” is difficult in a species whose
environment and behavioral strategies are very different from those of humans. Killer whales imitate others, and seem to deliberately teach skills to their kin. Off the Crozet Islands, mothers push their calves onto the beach, waiting to pull the youngster back if needed. People who have interacted closely with killer whales offer numerous anecdotes demonstrating (证明) the whales' curiosity, playfulness, and ability to solve problems. Alaskan killer whales have not only learned how to steal fish from Iong lines, but also have overcome avariety of techniques designed to stop them, such as the use of unrated (未分级的；未征税的) lines as decoys. Once, fishermen placed their boats several miles apart, taking turns retrieving (恢复；取回) small amounts of their catch, in the hope that the whales would not have enough time to move between boats to steal the catch as it was being retrieved. A researcher described what happened next: The killer whale's use of dialects and the passing of other learned behaviours from generation to generation have been described as a form of animal culture.

普通高中课程标准实验教科书《英语》电子课本 Book 3 Unit 1 Festivals around the world B3U1P1-3 FESTIV ALS AND CELEBRATIONS Ancient Festivals Festivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere. The most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Other celebrations were held when hunters could catch animals. They would starve if food was difficult to find, so they celebrated when they had food. They lit fires and made music because they thought these festivals would bring a year of plenty. Festivals of the Dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead, or satisfy and please the ancestors, who could return either to help or to do harm. In Japan the festival is called Obon, when people should go to clean the graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico they have the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people might eat food in shape of skulls, and cakes with “bones” on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The festival of Halloween had its origin as an event in memory of the dead. It is now a children’s festival, when they can go to their neighbours’ homes and ask for sweets. They dress up and try to frighten people. If they are not given anything, the children might play a trick. Festivals to Honour People Festivals can be held as an honour to famous people or to the gods. One of these is the Dragon Boat Festival in China, which honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. Another is Columbus Day in the USA, in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America. In India there is a national festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain. Harvest Festivals Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter ,and because a season of agricultural work is over. In European countries it is the custom to decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and people get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their animals, flowers, fruits and vegetables, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. In China and Japan there are mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and give gift of mooncakes. Spring Festivals The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat, and may give children lucky money in the red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the lunar New Year together. In some Western countries there are very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. They might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival in Christian countries. It celebrates the return of Jesus for Christians and it also celebrates the coming of spring. In Japan, the Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country is covered with cherry tree flowers so that it looks as though it might be covered with pink snow. People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each others. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our daily life for a little while.
Unit 1 Festivals around the world FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events. Festivals of the dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps and play music because they think that will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with “bones” on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. It is now a children’s festival, when they can dress up and go to their neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours do not give any sweets, the children might play a trick on them. Festivals to Honour People Festivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Y uan. In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain. Harvest Festivals Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European countries, people will usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals when people admire the moon and in China enjoy moon-cakes. Spring Festivals The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper.
